Acupuncture is an ancient method of treatment that uses the insertion of very thin, one time use,sterilized needles into specific points on the body to encourage the body to come back into balance, promote natural healing and improve physiological function. Each acupuncture point has the ability to influence the flow of energy in our bodies and unblock stagnations to promote health and vitality.

Chinese Herbal Medicine consists of over 5,000 substances derived from plant, animal, and mineral sources. Chinese herbal medicine is much different from a Western medical prescription because if an herbal formula is prescribed specifically for you it will be a carefully balanced mixture of several different herbs specifically chosen to benefit your individual health condition and constitution. And as your condition improves over time the formula will be reevaluated to reflect the new advancements in your healing state.
